At Last...

We're out of the woods here as the weather has improved beyond all expection. Scented flowers, viburnums and skimmias lighten the heart and lure us into the ever greener gardens.

What at beautiful day...

The Garden Keeps Beckoning...

There is always a sense of optimism at Easter.
This year is spectacular, flowers everywhere and the first roses of the season, Hansa, is covered in blooms.

Here's wishing everybody who visits here a very peaceful week.

It's Up

... and even running.

Butterflies in The Flower Garden

I love butterflies and encourage them in my garden
by planting nectar-rich flowers.

Studying photos of butterflies on flowers on the Web
is a very scientific way of deciding what to grow.

Nettles encourage butterflies to come to the garden,
so it's not always useful to weed them out.
